Boris: Don’t Betray Future Generations! #NoToNoDeal

The UK’s exit date from the EU is fast approaching, and our new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has promised to take the UK out of the EU by the end of October “do or die” - a promise that’s already caused Cabinet Ministers to resign.

If Boris allows this to happen, he is betraying future generations. Not just their opportunities, their futures, their freedoms - but their trust too.

Without some kind of a Brexit deal, NHS chiefs have warned they could quickly run out of vital medicines and may have to delay operations for people in need. Supermarkets have spoken out about their concerns for our fresh food supply. Politicians on both sides of the channel have said this would mean a hard border in Ireland. People have started stockpiling because there is so much uncertainty.

With this petition, let's demand Boris Johnson safeguards our future by ruling out a no deal Brexit.

I run My Life My Say, a youth-led group made up of both Remainers and Leavers who have been fighting to make sure that young people aren’t forgotten when it comes to Brexit. I usually wouldn’t speak up like this but I’m terrified about what No Deal could mean for young people like me. Reports suggest that we’ll lose as much as £108,000 in earnings by 2050 if the UK crashes out of the EU without a deal. In the short-term they say it could cost 18 to 21-year-olds £675 a year and 22 to 29-year-olds £830 a year.

By the Government’s own impact assessments, leaving without a deal would be disastrous for the future of this country and our everyday lives.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and we must find a way to reunite our country.
